Larry Ellison has always wanted to be the Steve Jobs of the enterprise. With this morning’s announcement that Oracle will buy Sun Microsystems for $7.4 billion, he took a big step towards making Oracle more of a soup-to-nuts provider of enterprise technology.

Boy, it sure was polite of Sun and Oracle to wait until the day I got back from my vacation to announce their merger, wasn’t it? I fulminated gloomily about this possibility before I left, but now that I’ve spent a day absorbing the news, I’m … slightly less gloomy. Continue reading it here.

A community weighs the pros and cons of Oracle’s new claim on Java.
While Oracle and Sun Microsystems are hailing Oracle’s purchase of Sun as a big boost for Java, others are not so sure.

Many American IT workers have looked with increasing worry as programming and datacenter jobs moved to India, China, Eastern Europe and elsewhere as companies seek cheap labor and Internet connectivity has made offshoring a plausible business option. Or perhaps your job is staying in the U.S., but being handled by an H1-B-visa-holding immigrant or a foreign consultancy such as Tata Consulting Services and Wipro that tends to import its own workers.
